If you take the film for what it is - a damning indictment of the American treatment of suspected POWs, entirely against the Geneva Convention - then it deserves praise for its reconstruction of the appalling American hypocrisy perpetrated at Guantanamo Bay.Unfortunately the film entirely fails to question why these British citizens travelled to Afghanistan and then, by their own later admission, attended militant training camps. Instead, it portrays them as virtually completely innocent and caught up in circumstances beyond their control.While in no way excusing the utterly unacceptable and shameful behaviour of the US government and military, the fact that these lads clearly put themselves in the way of danger is not sufficiently explored in the film.

How in the name of any god, and why would you as a Brit going to a wedding suddenly: go to a war zone to see if you could help and how big the 'naans' are?? That's what I really did not get. Then the story line was very weak in my point of view, every time you thought OK, not we're somewhere, the plot or story just stopped and went somewhere else. For example: they are once questioned why they were in Afhganistan? ... you expect them to answer that they were there for a wedding, but boom the camera turns and takes another view without letting them answer on that question. In the end they answered sometimes; but then it were answers like: 'Bullshit' (litteraly) on the same sort of questioning. Why did they not persevere in that they were unguilty? That made me almost angry... it is a bad thing what happens in Guantanamo, but at the same time it seemed to me as: what happens if you let a American fool interrogate a British fool? Anwering foolish, then you get foolish treatment as well I guess!

... That's a saying that I got from a rap song. It could easily be a tag line for this movie. If you don't know what Guantanamo stands for and if you don't want to know that before you go see the movie, then stop right here ... although I don't consider it a spoiler myself, but here goes: Guantanamo stands for the Guantanamo Bay prison that is used by the Americans. The prisoners held there, are allegedly all terrorists. The Americans are pretty sure that they are. This is the story of four Pakistan friends, that live in the UK, but are on a trip to a wedding to Pakistan. Their motives for not going directly to the wedding are unclear (at least to me), so that the movie does have a strange touch at the beginning ... but that's nothing compared, to what is going to happen to them ...

This is the reality of the dictatorship that we live under today. George Bush and his neocons have completely discarded the rule of law and are engaging in torture to pursue their evil ends.This documentary shows what can happen not only to three Brits who were traveling to a wedding, but to anyone who lives in America under the present circumstances.The military, who are not to blame as they were just ignorant rednecks following orders, are made to be cartoon characters. The "interregators" are just like police everywhere, they lie and deceive just to get someone to confess. The fact that they have been unable to get a confession shows just how ridiculous they are. Bellieve me, I would have confessed to buggery under those conditions.Once we remove Bush from office in another 664 days, then Guantanamo should be closed and leveled to the ground so that not one stone sits atop another. It is too much to hope that Bush and his cohorts in crime would ever be borough to trial and punished as the war criminals they are for this sad chapter in our history.
